A Misanthrope's Throne

From kimango: Theme, LOATHING

Self-loathery is <3.

( This one is SO different from the draft, you have no idea. )

By aitakute: Theme, "Things are beautiful only when they are vague."

Happy Belated Birthday, Enervate.

( If you don't understand it, it's perfectly fine. Some foul language ahead, be warned. Also, everyone's a priest. )

( ZOMG ITZ DEH JIWAAAAAAANNNNNG FLEE O.O )

Kidchan, you'll be illustrating this for the doujin. You've got your Aleister story now, go binge on chocolate.

By alessar: write a story beginning with, "The mist hung over the mountain valley like a floating veil."


( What is expected, what may not, thus. )

I think if I left this story alone for a week, I'll end up rewriting the whole thing. Better or worse, that's another thing altogether.

Dedicated to all the perfectionist CG artists I know. Yes, that means the LOT of you.

Soon it'll be 2 months of joblessness, and I've FINALLY come to realize that I haven't given myself a tangible personal project apart from sifting through old Youthquake issues and sending job apps while FORGETTING to put in a photograph. =___=

So, I've decided to brush up my writing skills.

You guys know that 100_kisses challenge and stuff? Let's start out smaller:

The 22 Themes Challenge!

OK here's the deal:

1. EVERYONE gives me a theme EACH. If you don't gimme a theme, I'll pick the first word I think of when I get out of bed.
2. I pick 22, and write 22 short stories. Art skills permitting, I'll even attempt to illustrate a scene.
3. I get personal satisfaction, and you all get good karma for helping a person. Plus if you're into that sorta thing, you get to read twenty-two stories by ME. X3 (Assuming I am still making a doujin with BMJ, 3 will be chosen for publishing)

So maybe you have some questions, like "what qualifies as a theme?"

- Single words, one-word thingies. That sort.
- A quote from ANYTHING - Anime episode, book, movie, philosopher, lyric, etc. It DOESN'T have to be one-word. PLEASE, mention your source.

"Somewhat pushing it, but I might give it a try..."

- Ask me to end/begin a story with a particular line/phrase - like the essays we did/do in school.
- Request something specific - a BL scene, a scene describing war, etc.

"Bloody NO."

- NO specific requests like "Can you write a short story where Cagalli meets Relena Peacecraft and they sip tea and think about new ways to find peace without using Gundams?"
- NO extremely descriptive sex scenes - you want that, there's tons of smut writers out there, you just haven't looked hard enough.
- Fanfics.

What happens if I don't have an LJ to comment on to give you your theme?"

There ya go, I'll be crossposting it there.

Besides good karma, why else should I give you a theme?

This may be the only time I will write a short story about boobies if YOU REQUEST IT. Think about that. XD

Oh, and why 22?

It's my age.
